DIY Modern Faux Plaster Vase
Thanks to Make it: Fun Crafts for sponsoring this post! This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Persia Lou. :) This is my fourth month participating in the Make It: Fun Crafts Team Challenge, and this month was a doozy.

Cones at Christmas ... [Read More]
